Added a 27" 4K touchscreen workstation as the DM client for Fantasy Grounds, replacing my old Toshiba laptop, tv is a 40" Samsung smart tv connected as a second screen via HDMI.

Gonna hurt your neck.

I'd be annoyed with how reflective that glass cover looks.
SeanBlader
super cool.

Roll to see if I'm getting drunk.

Are there any girls there?
catapulter
so you do your battles standing up it seems... we pass a cork board with pins between us while sitting on sofas. the future is here!
Caethial
They can stand if they like, but the viewing angle is good enough that we all sit without any issues
GuardsmanMiku
I mean its still gonna take as long to prepare as a bunch of A4 paper and some felt tip pens
WillemHellfire
Man, the woman had a smokin' hot body. See True Lies.

In my days we could resort to notebooks, pencil and a lot of imagination.
filthbucketsfullofpuke
This looks uncomfortable.
TheBeardedDragon
Yeah, sounds cool in theory but you have to stretch wayyyyy too much to be comfortable
Caethial
Actually there isn't any stretching involved, players all have their sheets in front of them and just point to where they want me to move

imreallyreallybadatnames
What did this build cost you? And did you build it yourself? Or buy it as a prefab?
Rivalyn
There's glass over the inset TV, right?
Caethial
Yes. 1/4" lexan sheet over the tv
Rivalyn
Have you considered using a bottom projector?
Caethial
We did, but we already had the extra tv, so it worked out well, there is a pine cover that sits nicely on top of the tv to make it solid too
TogepiOmelette
That tv is gunna burn out the way it's angled
Caethial
If it was a crt yes, an led tv can sit like that as long as it has proper ventilation, which it does (I used to do repair on those

But would you mind the OVER attachment? :T

How much does it cost to be friends with you?
CyberneticLatex
About tree fiddy a second.
Evenmorehorrifying
The fact that you people figured out the hourly and yearly rates for 3.50 a second is terrifying. Never change, Imgur.
TheMovieGalaxyQuest
Yeah, multiplication is time consuming and expensive in this day and age.
dwilson0725

So what are your raw thoughts on 4K?
Caethial
Works really well, more screen space to help declutter the windows needed for DMing, and it doesn't hurt that the picture is amazing
johnnydangerous
Was more curious about picture quality - Visually worth the hype vs. 1080p? (I'm guessing yes, haven't seen by side by side yet though)
aFadingMemory
For a workstation 4k means 4x the space for stuff. Makes a huuuge difference.
johnnydangerous
Wasn't even thinking about that aspect - sold on that alone.
theshells
Ive ben using 4k monitors for a couple years now, they feel amazing to play on but the downside is not all games have 4k resolution (1/2)
theshells
Available in the settings. For watching netflix and stuff also the quality is well worth the price. (also been* in first comment)
theshells
Also the one i use is the Asus PQ321QE if interested
Caethial
for D&D i'd say there isn't much difference, mostly just screen real estate, but for video gaming and movies, yeah, its WAY better.
johnnydangerous
D&D means? Thx for the reply about quality, appreciated.
Caethial
Dungeons and Dragons
johnnydangerous
And sweet setup BTW too!!
SilentScreamsX
I never thought I'd notice the difference, but the jump from 1080p to 4k is like the jump between VCR and DVD. It's a huge leap.
johnnydangerous
Wow, wasn't expecting that huge of a leap but thx very good to know
Varcova
Have you tried a 120+ Hz screen? I'm curious if you would prefer 4k@60hz or 1440p@144hz
yerd
That would depend. I have a 1080@144Hz and It's great for fast paced games, anything else 4k@60Hz is better.

In my day we used lots of 3x5 cards and graph paper - and we LIKED IT.

Amd we walked 10 miles through 8 foot snow drifts, uphill, both ways without shoes! And we were thankful!

I use the backside of wrapping paper taped to a piece of cardboard. You can vaguely make out the shape of santa...

The best thing to use is a wet ease grid matt
Roqinn
Boy, weren't you fancy?? We used regular old loose leaf paper!
anvilon
HA! There wasn't any need to be *savages*. :D
MemeaholicsAnonymous
Our DM doesn't allow phones or tablets, all pencil and paper
Jehrman
That's how I run mine. Its not a video game...
j4bberw0ck
Honestly I prefer it that way. There is far too much room for technology to fuck up and stop working 1/2
j4bberw0ck
I cant count the number of times a player who keeps theor character sheet on a laptop or tablet had it die, freeze, get deleted, etc..
cr1515
Honestly, those are probably the same guys who forget, lose or accidentally destroy their character sheets. You can never win.
canibFrank
And pencils, with a hand-cranked sharpener?
diregamer
Sharpener? We just chewed on the trees until we got to the writey parts.
DrMet
+1 for writey parts
Aquatomahawk
Did you also walk 20 miles in the snow just to get to school?
AquaCrusher
Both ways were uphill
AskMeIfImFunAtParties
Had to keep a potato warm, as it was your only source of heat.
NowuseamoredifferentS
We also had to get up an hour before we went to bed, which was when we lived in the lake
N0083rP00F
You were lucky to have a lake. We lived in a shoe box in the middle of the road
MyDogJake
That seems like it's be in the way. It's cool as hell bit where do you sit?
JimJamesJimothyHalpert
The chairs?
MyDogJake
Thank you councillor.
Caethial
I sit in front of the workstation (moved the chair back a bit for leg room)
MyDogJake
Works well? I feel like if it was a few inches higher you could get your legs under. But then it blocks the table..
Caethial
Yeah I'll be building a rolling cart for the workstation with a bit of legroom in it so it'll work better, this was a trial run with it
MyDogJake
Looks great. Happy gaming.
